Martinez Transport, Inc. Case Settles for $20,750

This page last reviewed March 5th, 2014.

In February 2014, Martinez Transport, Inc. agreed to pay $20,750.00
in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $15,563.00 to the
Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and
research to improve California's air quality; $5,187.00 for the Peralta
Colleges Foundation to fund emission education classes conducted by
participating California community colleges, under the California
Council for Diesel Education and Technology (CCDET) program.

An
investigation by the Air Resources Board (ARB) showed that Martinez
Transport, Inc. failed to bring two of their vehicles into compliance
with applicable in-use performance standards and failed to properly
self-inspect their diesel trucks to assure the trucks met state smoke
emission standards. ARB documented violations as they related to the
Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP) and the Statewide Truck and
Bus regulation. To settle the case, Martinez Transport, Inc. agreed to
the $20,750.00 penalty and to comply with all applicable ARB
regulations.
